Iconoclastic photographer and filmmaker Robert Frank (born November 9, 1924) was invited by Laura Israel, his longtime editor and collaborator, to reflect on his life and art. The result—culled from many years of conversations while working and watching his films together—is essential viewing for anyone interested in contemporary photography.

Its premiere at the New York Film Festival was described as “a lively rummage sale of images, sounds and recollected passages, unfathomable losses, and friendships that leaves audiences a fast and fleeting imprint of the life of the Swiss-born man who reinvented himself the American way, and is still standing on ground of his own making.”

Each screening is preceded by short films by Robert Frank, selected from the Museum’s collection.
